Particularly Vulnerable

The BBC reports on 5 ways climate change could effect the UK, Way 3 is 'Rising Sea Levels':

'The UK Climate Projections of 2009 estimated a sea-level rise of between 13cm and 76cm for the UK by 2095.

The report also suggested the number of "extreme high sea-level events" - caused by storm swells - on the south coast of England could become between 10 and 1,800 times more common by 2100, depending on different scenarios involving emissions. The government acknowledges there's "lively scientific debate" over the issue.

Sea levels don't rise uniformly, says [Joanna] Haigh [co-director of the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London], and are "hard to predict".

Areas that have been identified as particularly vulnerable to coastal flood risk include South Wales, north-west Scotland, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, East Anglia and the Thames estuary.'

Volume 1 ‘The Region at Work’

A look at films and film makers in the East of England 1896-1996

with chapters on
Industry, Farming, The Coast, Transport, Wartime, & Regional Television

Since 1896 people have operated motion picture film cameras in the East of England recording and making films in the counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Only a fraction of the films made have survived, but those that have show us what life was like, what film makers were making, and what we were watching and doing. These may be local films, home movies, cinema films, television films, educational films, publicity films etc. This book looks at some of these films and the people behind them, and is based on films preserved in the East Anglian Film Archive. This is a unique and wonderful research collection of material reflecting local history in the form of moving images of the past. This is Volume 1 entitled “The Region at Work” of a two part work by David Cleveland, founder of the East Anglian Film Archive in 1976 – the first regional motion picture film archive in the country. The Archive is owned and run by the University of East Anglia.
